Our economists have extensive experience in the assessment of conduct in antitrust matters. We have been retained by companies across a wide variety of industries, including the software sector (on issues ranging from operating systems to highly specialized software products); the hardware sector (involving high-end servers, monitors, printers, and computers); Internet services; mobile telephony; and video distribution.
